This morning it was my turn to spread a little Christmas cheer to my animal friends. I arrived early at Farmor and Farfar's house so that I could accompany them on their daily dog walk. I helped Farfar prepare the Christmas snacks for all of our friends, dogs, cats, llama and horses. We loaded up on carrots and dog cookies. Then packed them into our fanny pack and stroller so we could get under way.
Before leaving I got to help Farfar with putting medicine on Ricki and Nika. We gathered our hats and sun glasses and out the door we went. Oh yes I had some nice snacks for myself too, one of Farmor's snowman cookies with lots of sprinkles on it, orange juice, water and more carrots.
Off we went looking for my friends our first stop was to see if Bella the German Shepherd was home. Unfortunately she wasn't but her companion the cat was there and even accompanied us next door to see Skittles the yellow lab. From the pictures you can see that the cat was very friendly not only with us but the dogs too. I made sure she got lots petting and I even offered her some dog cookie. She didn't care for it but of course Skittles cleaned up after her and Farmor and I gave her more loving.
The cat liked us so much she followed us down the street demanding a little more affection. Now as you may know Ricki and Nika think that cats are to be chased and wanted to do so oh so much. Well Farfar and I told them to sit and behave themselves and they actually did. I guess I have the magic touch.
I have no more pictures for you but I will tell you that we continued on our way to spread Christmas cheer to my animal friends. Lorenzo the llama, Dolly a little gray dog, the beagle and lab who live with the giraffe I'm always talking about. Then on to the horses, Snowball, Christal and the big brown horse who lives down the trail.
Oh I almost forgot Ricki and Nika got some cookies too and I also took Ricki for a nice run through the park. People seem to get a kick out of seeing me running such a large and powerful dog on a loose leash all by myself. Or maybe they get a laugh at seeing Farfar running behind me huffing and puffing trying to keep up.
I can hardly wait until tomorrow Christmas Eve when I get to finally open some presents. I'm now wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year......... "G"
